Homecoming… Team spotter Tim Fedewa, a Holt, Michigan-native, was recently announced as one of the 2014 inductees into the Michigan Motor Sports Hall of Fame. A third-generation race car driver, Fedewa’s racing career started out at area short tracks. He went on to compete in the ASA and ARCA Racing Series ranks before moving up to the NASCAR Busch Series in 1992. Fedewa scored four wins in NASCAR’s second series before transitioning to the spotters’ stand, where he now works with Harvick and the No. 4 Budweiser Racing team each weekend. The Michigan Motor Sports Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization incorporated in 1982 to enshrine and honor individuals or groups who have excelled in motor sports in the state of Michigan. The induction ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, November 2.

Chassis Info… The No. 4 team will utilize Chassis No. 842 in Sunday’s event. Harvick last raced this car at Kansas Speedway in May where he won the pole award, led 36 laps and finished second. Prior to that race, he dominated the event at Phoenix International Raceway in March with the car, leading 224 of the event’s 312 laps before taking the checkered flag for the team’s first win of the season.

Harvick on Racing at Michigan International Speedway

What is the toughest part of running 400 miles at Michigan?“It depends on how your day is going. If you’re having a good day, it’s not really hard to tell your guys what you need and everyone is in a good mood. If you’re having a bad day, you can get behind at Michigan really fast. Usually, when you’re hooked up at Michigan, the leaders have clean air and move through traffic pretty well, but if you’re in the middle of the pack, you find yourself getting behind and going a lap down pretty quick. You’re going to end up with a green flag pit stop and a whole bunch of green flag laps. You just have to be going from the time the green flag drops and keep yourself in position at the end.”
